Hi Jgeros.
I guess it all comes down to motive. Do you have one for quitting? Feeling like you're learning nothing is a good motive for switching universities, not quitting.
When someone in the audience at Startup School 08 told Paul Graham that people who completed college always ended up working for people who dropped out, the look on PG's face as he shrugged out a "maaaaybe" was telling.
University doesn't yield only knowledge: there's also a lot of people to meet and experiences to have. If your tuition expenses are covered and you don't have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity requiring you to drop out (personally I'm suspicious of the "once-in-a-lifetime" concept), then the wisest thing to do would be to stay.
From my own personal experience, if dropping out is right for you, you won't have to ask people what _they_ think.
